| Part X, Line 2: | Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Society and recognize a tax liability if the Society has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS or other applicable taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Society and has concluded that as of December 31, 2015, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements, subject to the results of the IRS audit discussed immediately below. The Society is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. The IRS is in the process of examining STS 2011, 2012, and 2013 Forms 990 and 990-T. As of May 10, 2016, the examination is undergoing IRS administrative review. Management does not expect to make any adjustments. In addition, management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations related to STS for years prior to 2009. |
| FORM 990, PART IV, LINE 11F | On August 11, 2015, the Society's received IRS Form 886A ("Revenue Agent Report") related to the IRS audit of STS Forms 990 and 990-T for 2011, 2012 and 2013, in which the IRS Revenue Agent responsible for the audit concluded that royalty revenue received by the Society in connection with The Annals of Thoracic Surgery was taxable income. The Society strongly disagrees with this conclusion, and therefore filed a letter of protest and request for appeal with the IRS on September 8, 2015. That appeal is now pending. |
